Farmers want private APMC yards closed down

The Hindu  

Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Krishik Samaj members have demanded that all private agriculture produce marketing committee yards be closed down, while threatening a State-wide agitation if it is not done immediately. In a meeting in Belagavi on Monday, farmers leaders resolved to launch an agitation in not only the districts and taluks that had private APMC yards but also in those places where there are none. Leader Sidagouda Modagi said that private market yards are exploiting farmers. Farmers associations from around the country are launching an agitation against private market yards and other policies that are considered anti-farmer.
